This should be billed as a half with a marathon option. The first half was beautiful, packed, great energy, awesome landmarks, though HILLY. I did have to wait ten minutes to use one of only 3 porta potties at the six but other than that – half was great. But after the split, there were so few runners, I found myself completely alone on the course several times. Almost no crowd support after the half which toward the end really matters. Also the the last 6-7 which are always always tough was just gross. We were running along completely broken pavement with potholes and rocks everywhere, a wall blocking the river on one side and abandoned trains on the other and a good portion of that last stretch smelled like a sewer. And then a straight uphill finish line. I’d run the half again but not the marathon.
